faq q01. if i create a watch face using watch face studio, is it supported on all wear os watch devices? watch face studio is compatible with all wear os watch devices running api level 30 and higher. if you create a watch face in watch face studio, you can use it on all wear os watch devices, regardless of manufacturer. however, because of limitations with deprecated apis, your watch face may not be available on devices that are still using deprecated apis. the galaxy watch studio serves tizen’s galaxy watch 1, 2, and 3. q02. does watch face studio support all types of watch face shapes, including circular and square? in watch face studio, the watch shape is set to a circle by default. to support other watch face shapes, disable the apply circular crop option in the watch face canvas properties. when circular crop is disabled, the watch face shape is determined by the user’s device. to ensure watch face components display correctly, avoid placing components directly on the edges of the watch face. the image can shift on some devices to prevent screen burn-in. watch face studio creates a project with a single screen resolution, but the created watch face supports all device resolutions. q03. how can i design my watch face to save battery? you can reduce battery usage through the following strategies: use darker colors on the watch face. make sure the images are fitted to the screen. make sure you have removed all unused layers before building the watch face package. for more information, see performance tips. q04. how can i improve the performance of my watch face? using too many components in your watch face can degrade the performance of the watch face and consume the device battery more. to optimize the use of components: make sure fewer than 8 complications are visible in both ambient and normal modes. make sure there are no hidden layers in either ambient or normal modes. q05. how does my watch face work in always-on (ambient) mode? the second hand is not supported in ambient mode. design your watch face to hide the second hand in ambient mode. the on-pixel ratio (opr) varies between device models. to find the opr for a specific device, check the device specification. to examine the on-pixel performance of your design in ambient mode for various device shapes, in the run preview, select analyze. you can also analyze the on-pixel performance for circular devices when you use the run on device and publish features in watch face studio. q06. how can i enable users to customize their watch face? to enable watch face customization, define themes and styles for the watch face in the style property window. the user can select from the themes and styles you have defined. you can define a theme color palette and apply those colors to the component layers. you can also implement multiple images for the analog hands, image, multimedia, and index components. remember to give each component and style a clear, descriptive name. the names appear when the user uses the customize mode to personalize their watch face. you can also implement localized component names using text ids. for more information, see project settings. q07. what is the difference between the step counter tag expressions [sc], [sc_per], and [sc_goal]? the [sc] tag is the measured step count. the [sc_goal] tag represents the step goal. the user’s step goal can be synchronized from a supported health application, or you can define a step goal for the watch face. to configure the step goal for your watch face, in wfs, go to file > project > settings > health. the [sc_per] tag is the percentage of the step goal achieved, automatically calculated from the step count and step goal. q08. how do i sell my watch face in a region that is not supported by the play store? watch faces can be sold in unsupported countries through the device manufacturer’s own app store. for example, watch faces for galaxy watch can be sold through galaxy apps. for more information, see galaxy store seller portal. different app stores can support different file types for watch faces, such as apk or aab. you must create the appropriate watch face package for each store. q09. why can't i find the 'enable debugging over the bluetooth' setting in galaxy wearable application on my phone? check that your wearable device supports bluetooth debugging. debug over bluetooth is not supported on wear 3 devices. for more information, see debug over bluetooth. q10. why can’t i use lottie multimedia files on my watch face anymore? lottie files are no longer supported since watch face studio version 1.4.13. you must replace them with animations in a supported format, such as webp or animated gif. q11. how does the step goal "sync to device" feature work? the sync to device feature enables your watch face to use the step goal defined by the user on their device’s health application. it is supported on watch devices running api level 33 and higher (wear 4 and later). on wear 3 devices, because sync to device is not supported, the step goal is fixed to 6000. if you want to set a different step goal for wear 3 devices, you must create a separate watch face version for wear 3, disable sync to device, and define the step goal directly. q12. why are some heart rate tag expressions and features not supported for my watch face? some tag expressions and features related to measuring heart rate on wear os watch devices running api level 30 are not supported by watch face studio v1.4.13. however, wfs supports synchronizing the measured heart rate value with the value displayed on the screen. on wear os watch devices running api level 33 and higher and galaxy watch devices for wear os powered by samsung, the open app feature supports opening the health application to view heart rate information on those devices. q13. why can't i group a complication slot with other components or combine multiple complications? in watch face studio, complications must be implemented independently. they cannot be grouped with or be part of another element. complications can only contain elements within them.

apply conditional lines on watch faces objective learn how to create a watch face that responds to time and notification using conditional lines in watch face studio. overview watch face studio is a graphic authoring tool that enables you to create and design watch faces for watches running on wear os. it offers a simple and intuitive way to add images and components, and to configure the watch movement without any coding. watch face studio supports watch faces for the galaxy watch4 or newer version, and other watch devices that run on the same platform. conditional lines in watch face studio lets users easily control components and its behaviors on watch faces. you can make your watch faces change dynamically based on time, step-count, or battery using conditional lines. now, with the latest version of watch face studio, you can also set conditional lines based from events such as low battery, unread notification, or scenarios without any events. set up your environment you will need the following: watch face studio (latest version) galaxy watch4 or newer any supported wear os watch sample project here is a sample project for this code lab. download it and start your learning experience! conditional lines sample project (2.43 mb) start your project download the sample project file, and click open project in watch face studio. locate the downloaded file, then click open. apply conditional lines based on time using conditional lines in watch face studio, your watch face can visually change its design based on the time of the day. here, you can change the background image of the watch face based on certain time intervals by setting the timeline condition of two background images, named background_day and background_night. click the show/hide timeline icon to show the frame area. notice that there's a default conditional line based on time for every component. each conditional line is represented by a bar in the timeline and you can adjust it using the slider at the end of the bar. collapse the background group containing the two background images. in the timeline area of background_day, click on its bar and hover your mouse at the start of the bar. drag the start of the bar to 06:00:00h and drag the end of the bar to 18:00:00h. this sets the condition that background_day visually appears on the watch face from 6:00 am until 6:00 pm. tipto quickly navigate on the timeline, hold shift + mouse scroll. learn more about keyboard shortcuts, by referring to this guide. next, for background_night, set the first time condition from 00:00:00h to 06:00:00h by dragging its bar respectively. at the start of 18:00:00h, double-click at the timeline area to create a 2nd bar at that specific time. drag the end of the bar to 00:00:00h, at the rightmost part of the timeline. this makes background_night to appear conditionally from 6:00 pm until 6:00am on your watch face. now, it's time to check if your watch face responds correctly based on the time of the day. click show/hide run button to open the run panel in watch face studio. move the time control slider from 06:00:00h to 18:00:00h and the watch face should show background_day as its background. similarly, check if the watch face changes its background to background_night when the time is from 18:00:00h to 06:00:00h. set the unread notification event make your watch face change dynamically based on a specific device event. in this step, add an event for unread notifications on notification_envelope, an animation component included in the sample project. click + or add conditional line and select event. noteto remove conditional line icons such as the battery, steps, 12h/ 24h, or event, simply right-click on it and select remove. click show/hide event to start configuring the event-based conditional line for notification_envelope. on the notification_envelope layer, double-click on the event frame. in the warning window, click ok. in this case, all existing conditional frames for this layer are deleted. afterward, a bar is created for the event-based conditional line. noteeach layer responds to only one type of condition. next, drag the bar from no event to unread notification. noteno event is used if there is no condition set on either battery low or unread notification events. check if the notification_envelope animation component appears on your watch face whenever there's an unread notification. click play run preview and move the unread notification slider in the run panel. when the unread notification is set to a value of 1 or more, the animation component should visually appear on your watch face. test the watch face to test your watch face, you need to: connect a watch device to the same network as your computer. in watch face studio, select run on device. select the connected watch device you want to test with. if your device is not detected automatically, click scan devices to detect your device or enter its ip address manually by clicking the + button. notethe always-on display is already set in the project. to run the watch face successfully, you may need to configure its always-on display to avoid any error when you run on device. you're done!

watch face studio (wfs) is an intuitive graphical tool that provides designers a means to design watch faces for the wear os smartwatch ecosystem without the need for coding. basic information on a watch face is typically presented as text, and watch face studio enables you to customize how the text is displayed. this article introduces three features you can use to enhance the text on your watch face design: tag expressions curved text bitmap fonts you can follow along with the demonstrations in this blog by downloading the sample project. tag expressions tag expressions enable you to create watch face components for which the rotation, placement, and opacity changes based on tag values. the tag values represent watch data, such as the date and time, battery status, sensor and health data, moon phase, and mathematical operations. for example, you can create a watch face that shows the date and time, and a progress bar that fills up each minute. this section describes how to implement this using tag expressions. to implement the dynamic watch face: create a text component. in the "properties" panel, select the text field text box. select the tags button that appears. figure 1: tags button to add the hour text, from the tag list, select [hour_0_11], then select done. figure 2: tags list similarly, to add the minutes text, create a text component with the [min] tag. to implement the progress bar for the seconds display: a. create a progress bar component. b. define its value as the [sec] tag and set its maximum value to 60. create text components for the date-related elements: [day_week_f] (day of the week), [mon_f] (name of the month), and [day_1_31_z] (day of the month). note : you can also display the weekday and month information as numbers, by using different tags. keep in mind that in watch face studio, sunday is the first day of the week. the following figure shows the progress bar on the watch face after some visual adjustments. figure 3: seconds progress bar on watch face for more examples of tag expression implementation, see the tag expressions code lab for watch face studio. curved text you can place text around a curve by selecting from predefined angular ranges, or by defining a specific start position and distance. you can also easily set the text direction. to place curved text around the top of the watch face: create a text component and define the text you want to display. in the "properties" panel, select apply curved-text. select ok. the curved text settings appear. in the "curving" fields, define the width and height of the circle or oval around which the text is to be placed. the width and height values are in pixels. for this demonstration, set both the width and height to 436. to place the text
